Whether or not the person you wronged forgives you, learn to forgive yourself.
If you have done everything you can to show yourself as genuinely sorry, and you have changed your ways, yet they still won’t forgive you, you need to now move forward. You can’t control how another person feels and reacts. So it’s time for you to forgive yourself. You realize you’ve made mistakes. You’ve owned up to them and you’ve learned from them. Continually dwelling on past mistakes will keep you stuck in a place of shame. Accept that your own forgiveness, as well as God's, will have to be enough for you to make peace.
Avoid slipping back into wrongful behavior. Even if the other person does not forgive you immediately, in time they may come around. Remember, you are responsible for this conflict because of your actions. Demonstrating new attitudes and behaviors will be the best way to prove you are truly sorry for what happened.
Show yourself as continually trustworthy.
